  • TEXAS RANGERS CLIPS – September 22, 2009
    TEXAS RANGERS CLIPS – September 22, 2009 TEXASRANGERS.COM Millwood's gem locks up deal for 2010 Rangers righty stymies A's, secures $12 million next season By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com OAKLAND -- Apparently Kevin Millwood wasn't too tired, injured or obsessively worried about his contract for 2010. Turns out he really did just need a little extra time with pitching coach Mike Maddux to iron out a few of those ever- mysterious mechanical flaws in a delivery. Something about too much arch in his back throwing off his balance. Anyway, Millwood and Maddux will have plenty of time to review all of that and any other issues that might arise during Spring Training next year. Millwood assured he will back with the Rangers in 2010 after delivering seven strong innings in a 10-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night at the Coliseum. Millwood's seven frames of work gives him 182 2/3 on the year. By passing the 180-innings mark, Millwood guaranteed his $12 million contract for 2010. "I knew what I had to get to," Millwood said. "But I wanted to get deep in the game and win the ballgame. If I do that, everything else will take care of itself." The Rangers, despite remaining 7 1/2 games behind the Angels in the American League West, did achieve one team milestone. The victory was their 82nd of the season, assuring them of only their second winning season in 10 years and first under manager Ron Washington. The other came in 2004, when they were 89-73 under Buck Showalter.
